Happy Women's Day

Recently I had been to a shopping plaza and I had an
experience worth sharing. My friend and I had walked through the plaza, checked
out every store for whatever we did not want and now we were hungry. So we sat
down in a cafeteria and I was fulfilling my son’s tantrums while eating that I realized
that an old lady, around 75 years of age, was eyeing me. Being in a foreign country
I’ll admit I am very conscious about my son’s as well as my manners. It is like
both of us have to be in best of manners but with a 3 year old it seems
impossible (even for me leave alone my boy)!

Anyways as she looked at me I wondered what was odd
in me that she was staring at. Or maybe she wasn’t liking the way my son was behaving
(though I know it wasn’t that bad a situation with my son) I thought and in
vain tried to ignore her. For a few moments when I did forget her,
concentrating on my son, somebody tapped on my shoulder. Turning back to look I
saw it was the same lady and she said to me “I was admiring the mother magic in
you. Don’t take it otherwise. You are doing great and keep going.” And she
went. But she made my day.

And why did I share this story with you? Because it’s
Women’s day and probably we have forgotten to commend the woman just next to us.
Each of us might be busy posting a Happy
Women’s Day post or reading an article on most influential women in the world
but we have forgotten the lady next to us. Have we ever thought just to go out
and pat a woman’s back and say to her ‘You are the most influential house
maker. Keep going.” Or have we ever thought of reaching out to a not-so-popular
working woman who is giving her best shot to balance between home and work and
said to her “You are doing just great. You are the most influential women in my
life.” No right? So may be today just do it and it will really be a ‘Happy
Women’s Day’ for that gal out there.

Feel free to leave your comment and tell me your
story…how did you make a woman feel special today or may be any other day…or You
Lady how did somebody make you feel special.
